Generous Rivalry.

If people diametrically opposed to
each other in opinion are ever ready
to find common meeting-round. it
may easily be in music. An old sol
der tells, in a Chicago paper, the sto-
~ OF two musical contests during the
war, in which one side emulated the
generosity OF the other.
When some OF the parties were en-
ramped at Kenesaw Mountain, the OPP
posing parties were so near each 9th
or that one could hear the bands oil
the other almost as plainly as their
own. On the morning OF July 4th, the
Union bands played our national airs,
while those OF the confederate army
gave "Dlxie" and the "Bonnie Blue
Flag"
For q time there was quite a con.
test as to which side could make the
most noise, and after that had ended,
the confederates, to the great surprise
Of the Union men, began playing Hail
Columbia"
Not to be outdone in courtesy, one
of the Union bands then played "Dix
ie," and the interchange of compli.
ments continued through quite an ex.
tended programme. Enthusiasm and
generous feeling was the order of the
day, but that night the very men who
had been cheering each OTHER were en-.
gagged in fierce diminishing.
While the two armies were in camp
at Chattanooga, there were twenty OF
thirty excellent bands on each side
daily playing their respective airs.
One night, after most of them had
retired from duty, three or four O.
the best bands in each army played
for an hour or more, as if in rivalry
In the Union camp, after "Hail Co
lumbia" had been given, there would
be cheer on cheer from ten thousand
throats.
"Bonnie Blue Flag" from the Other
side. would be followed by an equa
uproar from its supporters.
At length, q Union band struck w
'"The Girl l Left Behind Me-" and, fol
a minute, there was silence in the 9th
or camp; then Confederate band
caught up the refrain, and two played
it.. together to the end. When they
had finished, there came, as If by com
mon impulse, a succession OF cheers
from both camps, and the pickets
throwing caution to the winds, stood
up and shouted together.-Youth's
Companion.

A Remarkable Growth,

The many friends OF Messrs. Montgom-
cry Ward q Co., formerly at 227 and 229
Wabash Av., Chicago, will be glad to know
that the rapid growth OF their business
has forced them to remove from Wabash
Ave. to Ill. 112, 113 and ia Michigan
Ave., where they have purchased a magnif-
cent building, the seven floors OF which they
will occupy exclusively. These seven floors
are each 1OOxl 60 ieet, aggregating nearly
12O,0OOsquare feet (about acres) OF floor
surface. The new quarters will enable
them to handle their large business to a
better nd vantage OF their thousands OF GUS
toners. Fifteen years ago Messrs. Mont.
gomery Ward & Co. occupied but one room
and that only 25x4O feet. The enormous
growth of their business during these fifteen
years can only be explained by the fact
that they sell direct to consumers, supply
ing all their wants, and never misrepresent
any article. The success OF this house
proves the old saying, that Honesty is
the best policy" and from this policy they
never deviate. The Fall catalogue issued
by Messrs. Montgomery Ward & Co. ought

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
The Great Labor Organization Represented BY
ESQ Delegates, Assembled In Minneapolis.

Reception and Preliminary Observation-Disclosures
and Responses by Various Orators.
The knights OF Labor Assembly at Min
neapolis on Monday the Sd inst, was one
OF the most interesting bodies ever gather
ed in that city. peculiar interest at
taches to these $50 representatives Of the
great laboring masses OF the United States,
who. largely through the agency OF this
particular organization, have made their
influence felt in the realms OF politics and
commerce within q few years, rs never be-
fore.
The opening meeting in the morning was
10000 people. Mr.. John p. McGaughey
presided. Mayor Ames and a number OF
the distinguished members OF the conven-
ton occupied seats on the platform. Mr..
McGlaughey called upon Mayor Ames to
make the address OF welcome in behalf OF
the city. The mayors remarks were gent
al and characteristic.
Mr. Richard Griffiths OF Chicago, a vet
eran worker in the order, in appropri.
ate terms acknowledged the warm recep-
ton that had been rendered the delegates
and the kind greetings OF the mayor. Mr..
A. A. Carleton OF Massac husetts, member
OF the general executive board also spoke.
Mr. Ralph Beaumont, one OF the most
distinguished members OF the order, was
next called upon. He spoke with great
ease and elegance. He made some very
graceful and well.turned illusions to Min
>neap oils. He referred to the various
stages of success and dependency in the
history OF the order and asserted that If
this organization goes down it will only
be to give place to another mightier than
this, for as long as injustice remains in the
land the struggle will be maintained.
The next speaker was Mr.. Richard Trev.
ellich, one of the most powerful speakers
in the order. A synopsis OF his remarks
would give q faint idea Of their impressive
ness. In conclusion he said: 1--WE come
here with the olive branch OF peace in our
hands. Let no act OF yours bring disgrace
upon the great body. Let your words and
proceedings have in them wisdom and dig
nifty, be worthy example even for thu
great congress OF our country"
At the evening meeting some 10, 600 per-
sons were present. Mr.. McGaughey pre-
sided.
Richard Travellick OF Detroit was called
to the front. His address was powerful
and eloquent explanation OF the mission

feature of the convention was certainly one
of the most pleasant of the convention, as it
will be a memorable one to the delegates.
At IL O'Clock Mr.. Davitt was escorted into
the hall by John P. MeGaughey. As the
gentlemen appeared in sight there was
very cordial greeting from the delegates.
Mr. Powderly took the hand of Mr. Davftt
and greeted him in very hospitable man.

Powderly. When the applause subsidized
Mr. Powderly arose and introduced the dis

derly Of the audience. There were several neg
alive responses. and Mr. Powderly continued:
I merely wish to say that the man who IS the
idol Of nv heart, the champion OF the down,
trodden people whom love, is here to-day: and
IL he had his deserts he would stand at the high
est point Of fame. He stands as the representa-
a tive Of labor across the water-Hon Michael
Davitt"
This happy utterance, accompanied by
much feeling on the part of the master
workman, was greeted with applause. In
all of Mr.. Davitt's experience upon the
rostrum it is doubtful whether he ever stood
up to speak to an audience more completely
in sympathy with him and his great mission.

Enthusiastically exclaimed one young miss to

Isn't it pity her complexion is so bad; it
spoils her looks. And then she has such

GRAND MASTER POwDERLY.

When Mr.. Powderly came forward to
speak the cheering was deafening.
The speaker made a strong appeal to
his hearers to advance and take the sta
ton in the world which belongs to them
by right and which they are so competent
to FIJI. He expressed his confidence in the
right and Justice of the principles which I'M
derlie the order, and his undated courage
in it's future. All the opposition and all
the abuse he had received had not changed
him in the least. And then he had good
word for the kiekers.
Mr.. Powderlv predicted time when all
wosking men would be organized under one
head and lead against one common foe.
He made touching allusion to Thomas
A. Armstrong, of the Pittsburg Labor
Tribune whose death was announced Sun
day evening.
At the close OF Mr.. Powderly's address
resolutions eulogistic OF Mr.. Armstrong
were alopted.
President A. J. Streeter, OF the National
Farmers alliance made an interesting adj
dress on the subject. 1.-The People; Their
Government" He said that while he did
not take the character OF the chronic
grumbler, still it fell to him to show up
some OF the evils OF the times. He referred
particularly to the deplorable condition
OF the farmers OF Illinois, his own state.
They are overwhelmed by debt" he said,
land the prospects OF paying their debts
are poor"
On Tuesday there were numerous ar
rivals OF belated Knights. The first and
only matter taken up during the day was
the report OF the committee on credentials.
The report occupied the morning and aft
er noon sessions.
MICHAEL DAvITT AND THE KNIGHTS.
The session of the Knights was rather
abruptly terminated at 1 l o'clock yesterday
forenoon The Hon. Michael Davitt, one of
the leading and most telling workers in be-
half of Ireland, had arrived late Tuesday
night He was soon in the hands Of Master
Workman Powderly, and the suggestion that
the business of the convention be tenn
porarily suspended in order to give the dis
tinguished Irishman an opportunity to
address the delegates met with the hearty
concurrence of every delegate. The recep-
ton which the great home ruler got could
not have been heartier or pleasanter. II
could not have been a more spontaneous
outburst of approval had the convention
been constituted entirely of men of Mr..

was ut the dictates Of King Monopoly. She
said that about the same condition OF things
existed in this country, whore free speech
has been stricken down. Mr.. Perry OF
Quincy, Ill, said the idea that the Irish peo-
pie were not capable of self-govern-
ment was an absurd and false
one ~Let England give them chance" Mr..
Perry suggested After few remarks by
Delegate Best, Miss Hollingsworth, the only
colcred lady In the convention. said th at
there was feeling Of sympathy among the
colored people for Ireland She said the
condition of the colored people in the So nth
was fully as bad a. it was IN the days Of
slavery. Paul Meyer. q New York delegate,
spoke in behalf OF the Germans, and ex-
pressed his and their sympathy for the cause
in which Mr.. Davitt was engaged 1t re-
NAMED tor Joe Labadie, the printer delegate
from Detroit, to make the humorous speech
Of the occasion.
Ladies' and Gentlemen: wish to say that as
al nalionalities have been heard from, it Is no
moro than fair and right that should move
the adoption Of this resolution on behalf OF the
original Americans, Of whom am q represen-
tative.
Mr.. Powderly suggested that perhaps the
people did not understand Mr.. Labadie's
point, and the Detroit delegate continued:
Simply this that only four generations ago
my ancestors roamed about this country be-
decked In war paint feathers and tomahawks
and emitted blood-curdling -whoops from
their lips.
The audience found In this little speech
the cause of much merriment @And they
are war-whooping yet. said Mr.. Labadie.
